New technologies and automation concepts emerge in the digitalization of our environment. This is, for example, reflected by intelligent production systems in Industry 4.0. A core aspect of such systems is their cyber-physical implementation, which aims to increase productivity and flexibility through embedded computing capacities and the cooperation of decentrally networked production plants. This development stage of automation has not yet been achieved in the current state-of-the-art of facades. Being responsible for the execution of adaptive measures, facade automation is part of hierarchically and centrally organised Building Automation Systems (BAS). The research project ThinkingSkins is guided by the hypothesis that, aiming at an enhanced overall building performance, facades can be implemented as cyber-physical systems. Accordingly, it addresses the research question: How can cyber-physical systems be applied to facades, in order to enable coordinated adaptations of networked individual facade functions?
